best bluray burner/drive for ripping?

I just ordered the BR version of one my favorite shows, and I don't want to actually mess with discs.
Ideally, I just want to rip them to my PC, with all audio and subtitles available into a nice file, and then stream it as needed.

My PC still just has a DVD drive (one that I've used like maybe 5 times?) - I know in the era of CD players and DVD players, sometimes, one model would exceed above the rest for these type of tasks. Does this exist today at all for BRAY players?

I only plan to do this once, but I really don't want to deal with any hassle. Maybe 15 years ago it was cool to find ways to make it happen, but today I'm willing to just buy the right thing in the first place.
 
I have a BH16NS40, works on single, double, triple, and quad layer blurays and BDXL discs, as well as archival quality M-Disc's.
It even physically reads UHD blurays (but since AACS 2.0 hasn't been cracked you can't playback the discs), and has 3D bluray playback support as well.

It might be a bit above what you want to spend as it offers a wide array of features that wont matter to most people, but if you want a drive that can do just about everything right now, the BH16NS40 is a decent option.

There are also good bluray burners out there that are cheaper and offer a few less features if you don't need quite the capabilities of this writer.
 
I'm seeing there is a newer version: LG BH16NS55 is it as good? I can't find info on it (but a lot of interesting charts that don't have any analysis/interpretation lol) and its beyond what I need, but will probably go that route.
 
It might be an updated model, but looking at all the specs it appears identical, same read/write speeds and types of dics supported, both have 4MB buffers, etc.
